Copenhagen climate summit: what is global warming? - Telegraph

The climate summit at Copenhagen will aim to stop man-made global warming. But are temperatures really rising and is it caused by humans?
...
The evidence became overwhelming two years ago after the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued a report by 152 [not 2,500?!] scientists from 30 countries and reviewed by 600 experts that said global temperatures are increasing and it is very likely due to man made greenhouse gases.
